RFR: 8315789: Minor HexFormat performance improvements [v2]

[Claes Redestad]

> This PR seeks to improve formatting of hex digits using `java.util.HexFormat` somewhat.
> 
> This is achieved getting rid of a couple of lookup tables, caching the result of `HexFormat.of().withUpperCase()`, and removing tiny allocation that happens in the `formatHex(A, byte)` method. Improvements range from 20-40% on throughput, and some operations allocate less:
